Could u shoot me a link to the LF products? Not sure which is which on the site n feel kinda lost compared to glowhut lol
I'm going to back up Annisse and put in another unsolicited good word for LF. Good selection, prompt friendly service, well-packed high-quality product. Plus, they seem like an entirely US-based operation, if that's important to some folks.Ahhhhh yes, Glowhut. I was originally going to go with them myself from the getgo but they don't sell their El Tape in the lengths I needed and I don't think they supplied White El Tape either. A custom order was going to cost a bit, then I discovered the LF product. So happy I did, it is way more solid bright white than the Glowhut glow.
Everyone should go with LF to light their Tron costumes in my opinion if you are on a budget as in can't afford the actual lighting used in the movie
Greetings programs! So I'm just wondering who else is going to Anime Expo this year? I'd love to see some epic Tron cosplay there. I live in Colorado and I'm one of 2 people in this state who have a full light up suit who go to cons. I'm traveling from Colorado to attend AX this year, but can't bring my full costume due to battery restrictions on flights. So I'm going to go as a casual program (the disc on the back, a single light panel down the front of a leather jacket) type look. Will post pics when I can. Thanks

I will be there with my friend in legacy attire. reflective tape for during the day and then we are going to swap it for el tape for the night
Or maybe the OP can edit it into the first post.Yay!!!
Is there a way that we can maybe put a Sticky post about Luminous Film at the 1st page of this thread so the newcomers can know what lighting is the best? I guess I can ask Art Andrews about it.

Ultimately, it would be great if someone could collect all the main tidbits into a bulleted list (suppliers, links to basic techniques, etc.), but it would be a bit tedious. No, I'm not volunteering.
Hey everyone. I just found this forum while researching things for my future tron costume, so excuse me if I don't display proper etiquette. I think you'll be seeing more from me in the future since I love creating costumes
Now let's get down to business. I'm planning on attaching a continuous strip of EL tape from Luminous Film (convinced from Annisse that it's the best EL tape distributor) on the inside of my hoodie. I estimate it to be approximately 7 feet long. I have found this cool inverter from glowhut and was wondering if It's strong enough to power the whole 7 feet if it's 1 inch in width. On the specs, it says that it can power 2 x 1.4 meters of 1/2 inch EL tape. I really want to make the continuous strip to be 1 inch in width. The specs say that the inverter supplies 9 volts so I was wondering if it can power beyond what glowhut says it can. I really want to use this inverter since it has a sound sensor (would be super cool for EDC hehe.)
In the event that it doesn't provide enough power, I'm thinking of getting 2 of those inverters and cutting the 7 feet tape in half. My only worry by doing that is that the 2 seperate tapes won't be sync when it flashes. Thanks everyone for reading this post and sorry if this matter was already discussed previously. (I have finals to study for and simply can't read the 100+ pages )
